Albino beardies

[Splitmore]

Here are some pics of some albino beardies I am raising.They hatched unexpectidly in a clutch of inland beardies.All up there were 8 normals and 4 albino's.The albino's were a bit slow to start feeding but are now doing fine and growing well.

Neil,
These are the only ones existing that I know of in the world.Some were hatched a few years ago in Australia but they all perished.Hopefully these little guys will grown up so albinos can be established in captivity.

what does imao mean?

 

[Splitmore]

Roadkill,
Not sure what colour phase the parents were,the albinos were hatched by someone else I aquired them from a friend.
The Americans do get excited when something new comes onto the scene unfortunately it's usually because they see the dollar signs attached to it.

There have been white barbatas. Centralians can go further with their colours. In the USA they breed vitticeps to pastels and call them morphs.

It doesn't matter how long you breed Easterns they won't go to pastel colours. This was accidental I'm fairly sure, because the USA only had a small amount of Centralians before the Export ban. I'm saying theyre inbred.

they have it inbuilt to change further in colouring than the Easterns.

I read this in a Melbourne University paper a few years back. Goto Photos on this link. They are all Vitticeps.

mystic herps,
I think you should do a bit of research on what defines amelanistic.
Melanin is the dark pigment that gives animals their colouration,amelanistic(albino) means lacking dark pigment(ie melanin).Being amelanistic doesn't affect other pigments like red and yellow,hence the markings on the dragons.
Being such an expert in albinism I would have thought the red eyes on the dragons would have made it pretty obvious to you.
